Ned, Bert, & others,

I'm a happy camper now.  I grabbed the 3.6-3 VM from http://squeak.hpl.hp.com/unix/
(specifically, Squeak-3.6-3.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz ) and running that (from a shell)
 with the SqueakPlugin.image  allows me to read in my project just fine now (no additional
cmd line args required).

Thanks!  --Randy
